I'm so sorry! I know I said an hour but I kind of fell asleep. I had soccer conditioning yesterday and a 2-hour practice this morning so I was drained.
Jasper POVToday was going to be either the happiest day of my eternal life or the most painful. My fate rest in her words once more. Rosalie being the evil genius that made the start of our relationship be so memorable is the one I went to for turning this into a memorable occasion. I knocked on Rose's door.
"Bella, what's up?"
I chuckled and walked over to Rose and whispered quietly in her
ear.
"Hmm, well I was wondering if you could help me make said
girl my wife to be." She jumped; startled that it was me instead of
Bella.
"OH Jasper! Wait, you are… OMG… Okay we have so much to do! We need to get you and Bella out of the house. Take her out for the entire day. I know we'll have a party!"
"Rose how are we going to get people for a party today?" she smiled slyly.
"Don't worry, I
have my ways. Now have the ring right? Of course you do. You wouldn't
be here if you didn't have one. Okay what about music? We have
plenty music in Edward's room… no, no that music won't do. It
has to be music you and Bella like. So we'll use yours and Bella's
music collections. Now, what do we do for food? We'll need a pretty
cake that says 'Congratulations'." She was talking so fast and
answering her own questions, it was like I wasn't even there. She
just stood there staring off into space thinking of stuff for the
party. Then suddenly she slowed down ever so slightly and looked at
me. "Jasper you're going to have to eat a least a small bite
because well I'm making you. We'll need the basic snack foods and
we'll need lots of decorations. Ok, I have so much to do. Emmett."
Emmett was next to her in the blink of an eye. Before he could speak
she beat him to the punch, "I need you and Esme to go out and get
snack food and party decorations, enough for 150 to 300 people, most
likely 225. This is a serious occasion, Bella is going to be a wife
to be for the first time that she can remember, so don't screw this
up. Remember the party Alice threw? Get the same food. Jasper you
tell Esme about the cake, and tell Carlisle that he needs to set the
lights up again. I will stay here and get everything ready. Okay
Jasper you will take Bella to the mall. Do anything there but I need
you to encourage her to get a new dress. I don't care what color,
have her wear it home withy the shoe's she gets to go with them. Be
back around 7. Keep the ring here in my room. Okay everybody knows
their job?" Emmett and I nodded, "I'm going to do Bella's
hair and eyeliner with some gloss. She'll be your little punk while
you're at the mall but when she puts on that dress she will be a
amazingly sexy punk babe. Okay, everybody go talk to the people
you're suppose to talk to." With that we all left. First I told
Esme about the cake she squealed and hugged me. I then went to
Carlisle and told him about the lights.
"Outside ones or inside
ones?" Before I could answer Rose called down the stairs.
"Both!" When I left Carlisle study Emmett came to me.
"While Rose is playing Bella Barbie she needs you to start calling people, and use this exact message." He said then handed over two pieces of paper. One had about 20 names on it and the other had the message. The names on the paper were all girl names. Emmett looked at me, "Hey you got it easy I have to call the rest and the gay guys. And Esme has to pretend to be Rose for some of the guys." I laughed. Obviously she wanted me to make all 20, meaning she was going to be with Bella for a while. I looked at my watch, 7:36. How was it that early still? This was going to be a long day. I called the first person on the list. It rang for a while before someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Jasper Hale." There was a sharp intake of breath.
"Oh! Uh… what do you want?"
"I'm calling to invite you to a party at my house tonight starting at 7:30. I really would like you to come; it's going to be a very special occasion for my family and me. You can tell anyone you want, the more the merrier. Are you interested?"
"Of course! Where do you live?" Ugh she was so enthusiastic.
"Just drive down the highway, follow the lights when you see them."
"How do I know they are the right light?"
"Don't worry they will stick out." She giggled.
"Kind of like you do." If only she knew that her hopes would be crushed tonight.
"Well, I have a lot of calls to make to get the party together."
"Bye!" she chirped and the line went dead. I made the rest of the calls. They were all almost identical. I pity these girls who are going to have their hopes crushed tonight. I looked at my watch 8:03, how in the hell did I make 20 calls in less than a half an hour. Then Emmett came up behind me.
"Yeah, I know I couldn't believe it either. Esme and I just call a combined total of 67 calls. I got lucky the gay guys were so thrilled that they said that they would bring baked goods so I don't have to take as long shopping."
"You and Esme made 67 calls!"
"Yup." He said popping the 'p'.
"Esme started on Rose's list because the grocery store aren't open yet."
"Oh." We stood there in awkward silence. Why it is awkward I don't know, but it was. We stood there for a couple of minutes before Emmett gave me a brotherly hug. You know a guy hug; we don't hug any other way!
"Good luck man! Proposing never gets easier. I think I've done it at least 6 times and it is still as nerve wrecking as the first time."
"Thanks." I said when we pulled apart. Bell came down the stairs 10 minutes later.
"As I understand, we have a party tonight." Bella laughed, "Rose and her moods to randomly throw parties!" I laughed as well. I drove Bella to the mall closest to home. She would be able to find a dress there and we could go to Hot Topic. She can buy a new wardrobe, she needed one, and it had been a while since she completely redid her wardrobe. We could also go see a movie if we had time after our shopping. We got to the mall at exactly 9 o'clock, just when all the stores started to open. Okay does Rosalie plan this type of stuff or something because it's extremely weird how all this stuff just coincidently happens perfectly? She reminds me kind of reminds me of Alice.
Review Please!
